### Property

# Gio DBusConnection:guid

since: 2.26

#### Declaration

    property guid: utf8 [ read, write, construct-only ]

#### Description [src]

The GUID of the peer performing the role of server when authenticating.

If you are constructing a `GDBusConnection` and pass `G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_SERVER` in the `GDBusConnection:flags` property then you must also set this property to a valid guid.

If you are constructing a `GDBusConnection` and pass `G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT` in the `GDBusConnection:flags` property you will be able to read the GUID of the other peer here after the connection has been successfully initialized.

Note that the D-Bus specification uses the term ‘UUID’ to refer to this, whereas GLib consistently uses the term ‘GUID’ for historical reasons.

Despite its name, the format of `GDBusConnection:guid` does not follow RFC 4122 or the Microsoft GUID format.
